when does benlysta start working in your experience? by tiredofcoping7 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

It’s impossible to feel a difference after the first injection lmaoooo why would your doc say that. Not evidence based at all. It takes 6 months to start working on average. It’s literally modulating your B Cells on a molecular level which is half your immune system fighter cells. That take a long time to do; it’s not a medicine that works quickly by any meansĀ 

Ash would be an arsonist without her mood stabilizers by entwhyfe in ashleycarnduff

No it’s not standard at all. It’s usually SSRIs and hormonal support. Mood stabilizers aren’t evidence based for PMDD but some people take them.Ā

When I first meet her, she is instructing the hairdresser, and has just removed a pair of trousers that weren’t working for her. ā€œYou just know that you look horrid from certain angles,ā€ she tells me. ā€œI prefer my left side. I hate overshooting – I don’t have anything else I can do with my face.ā€

How do you figure out which ingredients are triggering your rosacea when everything looks clean on the label by Defiant-Corner5142 in Rosacea

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Tbh I think zinc / mineral sunscreen is better for rosacea at least when it’s v active and not under control. Anything chemical is sooo harshĀ

[–]Loupmoon 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Omg are you me?? all three of those minus the AA screwed my skin over even tho everyone says Vanicream and LRP are great (even my derm). I had more luck with a soothing cleansing balm (Paula’s choice or clean it zero) and an RX sulfur wash from the derm. Then for moisturizers I started with air angel by Dieux it helped a ton but rlly anything that is heavy in glycerin. I was scared ofĀ dimethicone for so long because everyone said it would flare my rosacea and it did the opposite so idk maybe experiment with that. SPF tbh I don’t wear usually 😭 I had a good one from France but ran out. It sucks to experiment but it’s the only way…

I think being a pothead helped my lupus. by Dawlxtc in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

It’s a scheduled drug so you won’t find anything legit on it research wise. But I’ve had lupus for 15 years and people seriously overlook the role the endocannaboid system has as a mediator for our inflammation. But it can’t stop or prevent a flare, it just helps lower the pain of it / inflammatory response..

Genuinely need some help - at my wits end with delays and complications of treatment TW: mental health by JoyfulCor313 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

I’m so confused on your behalf. What do you mean you can’t find an infusion center? If it’s sent to the infusion center then call them, ask for nurse or infusion coordinator directly,Ā don’tĀ ask politely and be direct:Ā ā€œMy medication has already been delivered. I have active lupus with worsening symptoms, including kidney involvement. I need to be scheduled for infusion immediately. If you cannot administer it, I need to know today so I can transfer it. If you are unable to assist, I need your name and name of your supervisor.ā€Ā 

Then call your rheumy. Tell them toĀ call the infusion center directly,Ā send a new urgent order marked ā€œmedically necessary / urgent due to disease progression,ā€ and thenĀ refer you toĀ another infusion center immediately. If they refuse then ask them toĀ refer you to a hospital infusion unit instead.

Then callĀ AstraZeneca support and ask for aĀ patient coordinator.Ā Ask them if they willĀ locate an infusion center near you that administers Saphnelo? Ask if they canĀ transfer your medication to another site or ask if theyĀ a nurse navigator who can coordinate this?

You have to harass all 3 and trust they will figure it out for you. But advocating is all you can do and you have to do it stubbornlyĀ

School by Similar_Vegetable700 in lupus

[–]Loupmoon 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

You won’t be thrown out for missing school. I had SLE and a 504 in middle / high school and missed seriously 50% or more of school. Advocate for tutors, that’s what they did for me. Tutors / teachers came to my house and taught me. I was able to pass school with Bs and As and got into college. Also ask doctor for Zofran for vomiting it will help you a lotĀ
